    Pixel has been substantially behind iphone for generations. Only reason I’m planning to Switch back to android is PC emulation but I’m definitely not buying a Pixel

    I’d just buy an iPhone instead because Android is working hard at becoming a closed platform anyway. Wouldn’t I rather have the original instead of the imitation?

    I don’t know why Google wants to be a worse Apple.

      If Google gets rid of my ability to install things like Termux, then it’s useless, just like iOS

      I’m paying computer prices for computer hardware, and they want me to use it like a Fisher Price My First Phone?

      Fuck that, if there are cheap flip phones, I’ll just use that.

      Yeah dude I agree while I personally would still buy an android phone instead of an iPhone most likely a pixel again because of the custom ROM support. But they really are trying to make it as hard as possible for people who like their platform for how open it is to stay on it
